ALTADataSet.AddFailure

Member of: SynthesisAPI.ALTADataSet

Adds a failure time to the data set.

Syntax

VBA

.AddFailure(Value, NumberinGroup, ByRef Stress())

.AddFailure_2(Value, NumberinGroup, Stress1)

.AddFailure_3(Value, NumberinGroup, Stress1, Stress2)

VB.NET

.AddFailure(Value, NumberinGroup, ByRef Stress())

.AddFailure(Value, NumberinGroup, Stress1)

.AddFailure(Value, NumberinGroup, Stress1, Stress2)

Parameters

Value

Required. Double. The exact time of failure.

NumberinGroup

Required. Integer. The number of failed units at the time of failure.

Stress()

Required. Object. The stress values, where Stress(0) = value for first stress definition, Stress(1) = value for second stress definitition, etc. Can be an array of numeric stress values or ALTAStressProfile objects (see the AddStressProfile method).

Stress1

Required. Object. The stress value for the first stress definition. Can be a numeric stress value or an ALTAStressProfile object (see the AddStressProfile method).

Stress2

Required. Object. The stress value for the second stress definition. Can be a numeric stress value or an ALTAStressProfile object (see the AddStressProfile method).

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add failure times to an ALTADataSet object.

VBA

 'Declare a new ALTADataSet object.  
  Dim ADS As New ALTADataSet
 
 'Define a stress type with use stress level = 10. 
  Call ADS.AddStressDefinition("Stress1",,10)
 
 'Add failure times for Stress1 = 190. 
  Call ADS.AddFailure_2(100, 1, 190)
  Call ADS.AddFailure_2(120, 1, 190)
  Call ADS.AddFailure_2(130, 1, 190)

VB.NET
 
 'Declare a new ALTADataSet object.  
  Dim ADS As New ALTADataSet
 
 'Define a stress type with use stress level = 10. 
  ADS.AddStressDefinition("Stress1",,10)
 
 'Add failure times for Stress1 = 190. 
  ADS.AddFailure(100, 1, 190)
  ADS.AddFailure(120, 1, 190)
  ADS.AddFailure(130, 1, 190)
